| Beschrijving voorzijde | A knight in full plate armor is depicted kneeling to the left, raising a mace or club in his right hand while supporting the quartered shield of East Friesland with his lowered left hand. The heraldic shield displays the arms of the county in the field before him. A circular Latin legend surrounding the central device records the abbreviated titles and names of the three co-ruling brothers, Edzard II, Christoph, and John, Counts of East Friesland. The overall composition reflects the Renaissance Thaler tradition of the mid-sixteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
East Frisia's coinage in this period reflects the county's uneasy position between Habsburg suzerainty and the practical autonomy its counts had exercised for generations. Edzard II, Christoph, and John ruled jointly following the death of their father Enno II in 1559 — a tripartite arrangement that was politically fractious from the start. Christoph was bought out of his share by 1566, leaving the remaining brothers in an arrangement that held until John's death in 1591.
Joint-reign thalers naming all three brothers are confined to the early window before Christoph's settlement, making the dating range on surviving pieces a useful tool for narrowing attribution.
